The sad part is "cutting off his knees" as you say would actually give Garrett his best shot of success and ultimately keeping the job after next season. We certainly have the offensive talent, but just not the coach to make it work.

True, maybe I should have said it differently. What he's doing is undermining his authority and making a mockery of the cowboys, again. Then JG will be the scapegoat when it doesn't work and then he will be fired!

way to form your own story and sell it as fact.....no oone knows how or why this went down yet....put the pitch forks away

This is a great point. While I don't know for sure, I believe most head coaches assemble their staff. Jerry has continually gone against the grain on this.

If Garrett is going to be a puppet, then fire him and get a real head coach.

If Garrett is this wunderkind, and Jerry brings in a DC and OC that manage the different squads, that then better produce immediately. Like yesterday.

Because the insulation just became paper thin for Opie.

What Kubiak did to save his job after 5 years he kind of had Wade forced on him by the Texans after he went threw like three coordinators. This is not the first time or last time we seen HC stays and shake up a roster liek this. Why is everyone assuming Jerry has anything to do with this he was the one who wanted to stay with a 3-4 and it looks Jason is going back to Dallas roots as 4-3

Salvage Garrett to what? The fan base? The players? I don't get that at all. We don't even know what if anything is being done.

People filling in those gaps though. Unless you are able to directly control events, the world is as it is and not how you want it to be.

Who knows?

Probably himself seeing as how he pretty much promised him the HC job back in 2007. You realize he didn't even have a job title when hired, he was simply hired. It was only later that he was given a title. Odds are Jerry was contemplating turning things over to him at that point but instead asked Wade to tutor him a bit. Well that was a mistake because Wade is probably a horrible HC to model oneself after and here he is 6 years later having wasted a significant portion of the core's careers on tutoring sessions and on the job training.

Cutting bait now and getting a real coach who actually starts getting the results he expects and moving the team through the playoffs will only serve to remind him of what a horrible mistake he made 6 years ago.

Who knows why but I think it's clear he's protecting Garrett for some reason.
